Purpose This document is intended to provide direction for TRF7960A/-70A users who desire to implement a 13.56MHz NFC/RFID reader solution using the TRF79x0A IC connected to a Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller or microprocessor development platform. Examples of such development platforms are: the MSP-EXP430F5438 board, MSP- EXP430F5529 board, the ARM Cortex-M3/M4 based board, or any other TI embedded microcontroller platform with the EM socket headers populated. 2. Scope This document will cover TRF79x0ATB module as it relates to using the module for evaluation and development purposes in conjunction with Texas Instruments Embedded Development platforms. This manual does not cover the in-depth details of the TRF79x0A NFC/RFID IC families, as those details are well documented in the data sheets for those parts, along with app notes that can be found on the product pages (see hyperlinks in References section below). 3.

TRF79x0ATB Module(s) Description The TRF79x0ATB Evaluation Modules are intended to allow the software application developer to get familiar with the functionalities of either of the TRF79x0A Multi- Standard Fully Integrated 13.56 MHz NFC/RFID reader ICs with the freedom to develop on their Texas Instruments Embedded microcontroller development platform of choice. The TRF79x0ATB module is also intended to allow customer driven antenna tuning with onboard coil and customer driven antenna form factor design. The module is hard wired for SPI communications, supports Slave Select and TRF79x0A Direct Mode 2 (default), Direct Mode 1 and Direct Mode 0 operations. The user also has access to and full control over the TRF79x0A EN2 and EN lines, allowing for design and development of ultra low power NFC/HF RFID systems. The module has an onboard boost converter (TPS61222DCKT) which boosts +3.3VDC in to +5VDC out to TRF79x0A IC for +23dBm (full transmitter power out) operations. An impedance matching circuit from 4Ω to 50Ω is populated on the module and this is connected to a tuned 50Ω antenna circuit which consists of onboard four turn coil with series and parallel passive elements (capacitors and a resistor). Test points are available on the board for checking firmware operations with oscilloscope or logic analyzer, impedance matching and …
